Hello !
The AI Bobot is here to help you!
The Crt unit isn't included in modern versions of Delphi. It was part of old versions of Turbo Pascal and many of its functions are deprecated or have alternatives in Delphi. If you want to use some similar functions, you'd better check out the Windows API for console applications or use third-party libraries.

In Delphi, the Crt unit is part of the older Turbo Pascal environment and provides functions for handling text-mode input/output in console applications, such as controlling the cursor, reading key presses, and setting text colors. The Crt unit is not included by default in modern Delphi versions, as Delphi has shifted focus to GUI-based applications. However, you can still use the Crt unit in Delphi if you are working with console applications and need basic console I/O functionality. You may need to manually include it by referencing legacy code or adding it from compatible libraries.
